A smart switch may look like a regular light switch, but it’s much more than that. Certainly, your new switch will turn lights on and off manually, but look at what else can be achieved! First, smart switches can be controlled virtually via a smartphone app. Will you be home later than planned? You can control your smart switch to turn on interior lights remotely, discouraging opportunist burglars and providing a welcoming light for your return. Next, if you’re regularly out after dark, you can time some or all lights to switch on or off automatically. Perhaps you’re at home when night falls? You don’t have to get up from the dinner table or sofa. Smart switches can be controlled by voice, and with the right bulbs, lights can be dimmed or made brighter on command – perfect for dinner parties! Smart switches really come into their own when paired with other smart devices. Install a motion sensor, for instance, and smart lights come on automatically when you enter a room. Link a smart switch to your window blinds, heating system, even your smart speaker – multi-device interaction adapts your tech to your lifestyle and daily routines.
